Are You Staying On The Edge

Did you ever dream of doing something so big that your hair are standing? Did you ever imagine yourself doing one grand thing that your heartbeat jump by 1 beat faster?

Recently, I’ve been imagining how would it feel to speak in front of 5000 audiences. I can feel the electric pulse passing my body when I thought of it.

On the other hand, there is this little voice in me, the voice of doubt that speaks to me. “Who are you to speak to 5000 people?” Does it happened to you? A voice telling you that you can’t do it, questioning you.

I know exactly that this is the self doubt in me that wants to stop me from growing. It wants me to be safe, staying in my comfort zone. Everyone of us has this voice of doubt. All it want to do is to keep you safe from danger and pain. It is good to be out of danger, but sacrificial of wealth and growth is required.

However, I love risk. It makes my life exciting and adventurous. I know I have to grow to reach so that one day I can speak to 5000 people. To grow requires me to step on the edge.

Imagine you stepping at the edge. Looking down, you see an endless fall. You can turn around and walk away, going back to your shell. Or you can take one step to make a jump to experience the feeling of free fall, and at the end of the fall you’ll find a paradise.

Yes, you will always find a paradise.

For 7 years, after starting my business, I’ve always been on the edge, getting myself uncomfortable. And I always find a paradise.
